Reporting In The Field


During his second year at the newspaper post Ben Salem ran on the big story fast-track fending off rumored daydreaming boy out of the money accusations. As the legend goes while backing up an inquiring athletic note taker named Didinger inside the newsworthy setting a maiden with a special weight bumped into the creative wonderer researching a feature about the Tuskegee Airman winning battles.

Since the European image spent many an hour studying Italian, she decided to throw out a line to check the single’s prospect affluent status and show intellectual strength, “Battuta Doro,”

“Excuse me,” Ben Salem responded before defending his financial standing, “for one thing there is a surviving majestic creed you know when someone is out of the money.”

Ready to walk away the maiden with the special weight carefully engaged realizing her bank account minus symbol could find itself spotlighted, “well that is a good excuse for a negative balance,” she laughed projecting an intimidating rough accent, “as for me, Rosie’s alibi is a winner, and everything comes out positive in the end.”

Hearing this Ben Salem felt challenged started digging harder noticing the weather elements outside, “it’s a foggy night in this place.”

“That is true, but Rudy has that nose that guides us through anything,” Rosie commented then showed her foreign language skills again, “Por Una Combeza,”

“I do not know if I can even afford that,” Ben Salem stepped back knowing he had an option to claim despite the allowance information being reported differently. Feeling the verbal hard sting reality only for a second from the theatrical talking Malibu star concerning his out of the money issues he returned to the area where Mr. Didinger presented a working press character. Still on the phone the learning communication blue chipper only heard one side, “yeah I know it was a competitive show, and bringing home an Irish honor is still important in my book,”

Hanging up Didinger quickly wanted to know “did you get any?”

“Only quotes needing translation,” Ben Salem mentioned, “what about you?”

“That was, you ready, Mr. Elo Quist, a winner,”

“At?”

“Celtic wooden pigeon racing,” Didinger said, “made a fortune, boy did he find a pot of gold from flying birds.”
